CHGRES and missing metadata information in the output ... #63

Closed uturuncoglu closed 4 years ago

uturuncoglu commented 4 years ago

@arunchawla-NOAA I am not sure about who needs to be assigned to this issue but i realized that the files generated by chgres_cube does not have any metadata (variables names, units, dates etc.) in variable and file level. This prevent us to check the integrity of the entire workflow and need to be addressed somehow before the release. Additionally, it might be good to have a namelist option that controls the output file names of CHGRES (It might already have it, if so please let me know which one). BTW, we could add date of raw input file and the resolution of the case to the file names. All those will allow us to check the entire integrity of the workflow that is the essential component of the release.

Currently i am proposing following convention for the prefix of CHGRES output file name

RES.YYYY.MM.DD_HH

So this will be something like following,

C96.2019-09-09_00*

And then we could link them without prefix to the INPUT directory that FV3 expects. Let me know what do you think? BTW, is there any way to change the input file names for FV3. If not i could open an issue about them to make them namelist configurable.

This issue is resolved in CIME side. Adding appropriate metadata information to CHGRES output could be useful feature enhancement for the future.
